From Amazon.com: On his first-ever live album, singer-songwriter Mark Kozelek pulls everything together. Limited to 10,000 budget-priced copies, with two unreleased tunes on board, it's obviously targeted to fans, though it's a judicious, career-spanning effort that careens through the debauched sometime-genius's work with the Red House Painters, Sun Kil Moon, and on his own. This record's so darn good it might belong, like Richard Thompson's Small Town Romance and Cheap Trick's Live at Budokan, to that weird variant of live album which supplants a greatest-hits type collection as the perfect introduction to an artist. These sparse, emotional versions often sound better than the originals, thanks in part to his longtime collaborator, guitarist Phil Carney. Kozelek not only covers the Christmas favorite the album's named after--which is sweet, but his otherwise released take on "White Christmas" is even better--but also includes typically superb reworkings of songs by AC/DC, Modest Mouse, and the Cars. --Mike McGonigal
